Autoconf 2.65 is almost three years old now, so requiring it is
acceptable. Also, the soon-to-appear support for Objective C++
in Automake will be simplified if we can assume that Autoconf
version (which is the one that introduced support for Objective
C++).
* NEWS (Planned future backward-incompatibilities): Automake 1.13
will require Autoconf 2.65 or later.
